I've just uploaded a new build of Lite Software. Apt download and install as per previous instructions overwriting the existing version. There's a new version of Lite Tweaks too 🙂

Hi valtam.  Sorry I haven't responded sooner.  The install went well for me.  I have a multi boot PC which has Windows 11 as well as multiple versions of Linux.  I manually partition.  Just / and EFI.  I have a exFAT partition for data.  All went well.  The distro just keeps getting better with every version.  I have some retired ladies on Linux Lite so they didn't have to buy a new PC.  They love it.  It's nice to see an upgrade option coming.

Could you please tell me what partition options you used for dual booting? This will help others.

Apologies for the delayed response.  I have two drives in my system.  One for Windows and the other with all the different Linux distros.  Below is the drive for Linux.

I just installed them.  Very nice.  You just keep making Lite better and better.  This distro does not get enough love.

I just tried watching a YouTube video and I'm getting static in the sound.  I tried a different video and same thing.  I then tried playing a live stream of Fox Weather and had the same issue.  Below is the audio info for my system.

Audio:
  Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Renoir/Cezanne HDMI/DP Audio
    driver: snd_hda_intel
  Device-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Ryzen HD Audio
    driver: snd_hda_intel
  API: ALSA v: k7.0.0-linuxlite status: kernel-api
  Server-1: PulseAudio v: 17.0 status: active

Launch the Lite Game Center, install Pipewire, and restart. See if it does the same. You can always switch back to Pulseaudio in the Game Center too.

Wow, quick response.  I edit my post with better info and then saw your response.  I don't see a Lite Game Center when I type it in search.
